missing in the interrogation is any mention whatsoever of the assad regime. the only concern is the challenge posed by other opposition factions. who is erasing the slogans and symbols of isis on the walls, demanded the interrogator? i swear, i don't know as god as my witness who responds to this man. another interrogation, what were they saying about the islamic state? say the truth. save yourself. i'll speak the truth even if i lose my head, responds this man, who says he's called mustafa. all of these were found in the room of this man. activists describe him as an isis commander and intelligence officer. they found the abandoned video in january after he fled fighting between isis and other factions some of the clips and still shots show a young woman in the company of the man holding an ak-47 assault rifle. steady, he tells her, steady. clearly this was for this man and woman a private moment. so what happened to the interrogated man? it's not clear from the videos but one of the last recordings documents in detail ruthless-style execution by flashlight.
